The color blue is another clear example of the theme of deceptive appearances. The color blue represents depression, unhappiness, and loneliness. Gatsby’s first piece of wealth is a blue coat given to him by Dan Cody, signifying the beginning of his life as a rich person. In addition, Gatsby's blue lawn, and blue garden, where he hosts his extravagant parties reveals his sadness and loneliness everytime Daisy does not show. All of this blue represents an aspect of Gatsby's personality and identity that he tries to hide. Gatsby is known by the public because of his extravagant parties even though he does not attend them. Because of this, everyone speculates on the real identity of Gatsby. Gatsby has worked hard his entire

The color red is often associated with desire and passion, but can also represent disaster and warnings as well. Mattie’s red scarf signifies desire between her and Ethan because they meet up frequently together and know they can’t ever end up together. Zeena’s favorite pickle dish symbolizes passion between her and Ethan because it was a gift to them on their wedding day. In the beginning of Ethan Frome, the narrator introduces the main character; describing him as having a good soul but having a maimed body. The red scar on Ethan’s forehead serves as a representation for all of the desire and disastrous thoughts and situations that he is invariably coping with. The scar can be

Colours signify shift in moods, feelings and beliefs. White denotes purity, humility and marriage. Blue conveys trust, tranquillity and harmony. Red represents all things intense and passionate. It is no surprise then as to why Hughes titled one of his works after this symbolism.

For example, color imagery is used to describe the character Belle Carpenter in the story “An Awakening”. Not only is she explained as having dark skin, but her thoughts are also black. Anderson is implying that Belle has lost her innocence, and this idea is reflected when Belle uses George to “make [Ed Handby] suffer” (Anderson 186). She does not care about George and is simply using the boy to get what she wants, her lover, Ed Handby. She is also repeatedly described as a woman throughout the story, suggesting that she is mature. With maturity comes a loss of innocence, which is reflected in the description of Belle. Through Anderson’s portrayal of the woman, the reader gains a better understanding of who she is as a character, and what her intentions may be throughout the entire story. Dark and light symbolism is important because the reader learns more about the characters and their hidden thoughts, identities, and intentions based on the colors Anderson uses to describe them.

Pink is a color that is widely known to represent youthfulness and childhood for many girls. As the narrator is lying in bed with her newlywed husband, she notices “the blue of the brand-new curtains, instead of the apricot pink through which the first light of day filtered into the room where she had slept as a little girl”(273). The color blue is being sprayed into the room through the curtains and she realizes that her childhood is now in her past and she must now look into the future with the strange man lying next to her. After the narrator

Tykwer uses narrative structure and a motif to convey the theme of karma and the consequences following Lola’s different decisions, communicated through a repeated narrative structure which divides the storyline into three variations. This is demonstrated when Lola runs down the stairs at the beginning of each run. In the first run, the dog growls as she runs past. In the second, she is tripped and tumbles down the stairs, however in the last she jumps over the boy and dog and growls. This structure foreshadows her behaviour for the rest of each run, while showing the changes in her karma and the consequences of her actions

Red and blue are two colors that carry a lot of symbolic meaning. For example, red is a color associated with passion, love, fire, danger, anger, and adventure. Whereas blue is associated with water, depth, stability, trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Her decision of separating the two colors by dividing her body into two parts perhaps reveals that there are two sides to Charline, each half contradicts the other. One side of her is warm compassionate and loving, whilst the other is cold, eager and determined. However, the middle ground is when both colors are intertwined, creating a beautiful purple balance. This is the point of intersection, where both her personalities merge into one, creating

The opening scene begins with a stark extreme close up of a woman’s face in black and white. The camera focuses on her startled eyes that dart from side to side in an ominous manner that is coherent to the genre of thriller and its ability to perpetuate a feeling of unease. As the camera continues to zoom inwards towards her pupil, the image turns a deep red and we notice the emergence of animated spirals superimposed onto her iris. As the screen changes from monochrome to red the non-diegetic sound of mood music alerts the viewer to the insidious nature of the thriller, instilling a feeling of unease. Hitchcock’s use of the colour in this scene is unconsciously interpreted by the viewer as menacing or foreboding, as the colour red

In the film, “Run Lola Run,” produced by Tom Tykwer in 1999, Lola gets a phone call from her boyfriend, Manni. She supposed to pick up Manni who delivers a bag containing 100,000 marks to his boss. However, unfortunately, Someone stole her motorcycle at a store. Hence, Manni decides to take a subway instead. However, he accidentally leaves his bag on the subway. Since his boss will kill Manni if he fails to deliver, Manni tries to rob a store. Lola tries to find a way to save Manni. Consequently, the film shows different endings which are made by Lola’s decision. The kinetic camera movement and the technique switching to animation creates dramatic tensions.

However, it is mentioned on page sixty-one, prose one-hundred and fifty-five, that the color blue is an abundant source of this earth. Blue is everywhere, so it is hard for one to avoid; the sky is blue, the ocean is blue, the list goes on. Therefore, it makes sense that the she was drawn to the color blue in the first place. The abundance of the color blue on the earth contributes to a greater understanding of the novel because it explains how we, in this case Nelson, cannot contain and/or escape blue. Once you have an experience with the color “blue” you cannot get enough of it because you are reminded of it daily; in the sky every time you wake up and every time you go to sleep.

“The Masque of the Red Death” is about a Prince who does not care about his citizens, who are poor and suffering severely. Instead of trying to take care of his people he decides to throw a huge masquerade ball to distract everyone from what is really going on. Everything goes downhill when an unexpected guess shows up. The two most opposing rooms were colored blue and black. Some guests were too terrified to enter the black room because it made them think about death.

Throughout this entire scene, blue lighting falls on Tim and exhibits the loneliness and hopelessness that he now feels. Although such an example presents itself near the end of the film, it is imperative to understand this motif. Throughout the entire film, the lighting on Tim, when shown alone, is often blue as if recalling the crash sequence. However, when Tim interacts with Emily later on in the film, Muccino uses yellow lighting to contrast that of the blue and to produce warmth within the scene, and to show the comfort and stability that Tim feels in Emily’s company. Thus, the masterful application of blue lighting sets the viewer on edge

Perhaps the most relevant symbol is the head rags Janie is forced to where. Because Janie’s hair is so attractive to men, Joes forces her to confine her hair, which as a result, confines her femininity and her identity as well. Along with identity, comes speech. The head rags used to restrain Janie’s hair represent the constraints imposed on women by men of power.

The ivy behind her could represent clinging memory and the passing of time; the shadow on the wall is her time in Hades (as she is a Greek Goddess that would spend her winter in Hades), that now haunts her.. Her dress, like spilling water, suggests the turning of the tides, and the incense burner denotes the subject as an immortal. Her saddened eyes, which are the same cold blue colour as most of the painting, indirectly stare at the other realm. Overall, dark hues characterise the colour scheme of the piece that she is a dark woman within who has sinned. “Eve and Proserpine both represent females banished for their sin of tasting a forbidden fruit. Their yielding to temptation has often been seen as a sign of feminine weakness or lack of restraint.” Khan argues which is probably one of the first things I also noticed when I saw the painting – it was most likely the whole reason why Rossetti chose to have Proserpine holding a fruit which we cannot make out is –directs our minds to think of Eve and the forbidden fruit. Similar to Hunt, both painters are visualising for us their own ideas of fallen women. They’ve both painted them as beautiful and cunning looking women who were seen as deviant to Victorians but mean something else for women in the twenty first century society.

When Clementine dyed her hair orange Joel gave her the nickname “Tangerine” which shows intimate emotions, but as the viewer, we see the downfall of the relationship. While Joel is in the process of erasing his memories, the audience can recognize that they are no longer living spontaneously and at the moment but settling down. Clementine brings up serious topics, as a couple should discuss, like having a kid. Yet, Joel persists on “[talking] about it later.” He starts commenting about minute details and things he doesn't like about Clementine, for instance, her drinking. The devaluation relationship comes from a "girl who's looking for [her] own peace of mind", what Joel cannot offer. “Red menace” is a fierce and passionate color. The red represents the brief but joyous and exciting parts of being with Joel. There is a lack of red throughout the movie, but all relationships aren't built upon the happiest moments of a relationship but the memorable and meaningful ones. Lastly, Clementine's hair is green. This signifies a fresh start, a time for growth and balance for
